    Penne vodka with crispy chicken

    My favorite penne vodka around Very tasty. Kind service. Any time I'm craving penne vodka, I will continue coming here. They also decorate for holidays which is epic!

    Half and half grandma pie

    Amazing pizza!! Staff is super friendly, overall great service. Definitely going to be our regular pizza spot!

    Grandma vodka slice, vodka hot honey pepperoni slice, white slice, and square slice

    Old school Italian pizzeria known for their grandma vodka slice. All these were singular slices and we had the guy behind the counter split each into 2! Grandma vodka took the top spot with the vodka variation coming in second (the vodka sauce is unbeatable and with thin crust makes it feel nice and light). I'd say it's a tie for the white and square (worth mentioning that the crust for the square was like focaccia, super airy and doughy ). Great spot for a quick bite, feeling the NY Yankees love in the joint. Will be back!

    Sicilian Cheese Pizza

    When first looking at the shop and the pizza itself, you'll think "Okay, typical New Jersey pizza joint". Then you'll bite into a slice and BAM. Very classic flavors and very classic texture, but done SO well. I just felt like everything from the saltiness of the sauce, the amount of cheese, the time the pizza was baked was just perfectly balanced. This might be sacrilegious, but in some ways I loved Carlo's pizza better than local gem Prima Pizza (now don't fight you two, I still love you both and I promise to split business with you evenly...I'll just be buying twice as much pizza every week so we all win, especially me ) The standout for me was the "Seafood Pizza", which came with calamari, shrimp, and scallops. You gotta love seafood obviously but this was such a unique offering and fit so well with the cheese and sauce that I was sad I only ordered a half and half. Then again, the "Eggplant Parm" was very good too. Carlo's might not win any awards for being a cutting edge pizza restaurant...but who cares? It's clearly got some roots in honest pizza tradition and tastes freaking great. With reliable taste and service, Carlo's has won my allegiance

The strip mall itself isn't anything special, but the surrounding area is beautiful , and once you're inside, the restaurant feels warm and inviting. The food is fantastic, and the variety on the menu is impressive. The chef clearly knows what they're doing because every single dish we tried was genuinely delicious. It's the kind of spot where you can't go wrong: date night, dinner with friends, or anything in between. We brought our own bottle and had a great time. Our waiter was super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The staff even joked around with me when I forgot my to‑go bag, and yes, I absolutely took it home because the food is that good. I also appreciate that they don't act like offering takeout is beneath them; even the takeout bag was nice. I honestly wish my meals were this good every night. I hope everyone who works here is paid well and enjoys what they do, because they're running the place exactly how a restaurant should be run. It feels like a true community staple somewhere that transports you a bit and makes the whole experience feel special. Lovely all around.

The locale itself is really cute and conveniently located. The ambiance was giving Little Italy pizza & pasta, not fancy by any means, very casual.

My partner asked to sub pasta as their dishes come with mashed potatoes and vegetables but we were told it wasn't possible to sub pasta because the kitchen was too busy We'll probably just take the extra 10 minute drive into Somerville when craving Italian food.

What stood out was the nice and the flowery presentation. The service was very friendly and fast. It's such a gem and I'm very glad we discovered this place. Will definitely come back to try more dishes as well as the drinks and desserts!

The service is quick too, I felt like our food came out quickly for the size of our group. One thing to note is that this restaurant is BYOB. The food - it was okay. The eggplant rolatini was fine, although I think the eggplant was sliced a little thick for the dish. The lobster ravioli sauce was good, but the ravioli itself was extremely thick (the pasta part). It felt like more ravioli than lobster. I was really excited about the tri color pizza, it sounds so yummy with all the sauces! I was disappointed to see that the stripes however are all of the 3 sauces you get. So I felt it really lacked in sauce. What I think should have been done, is thick stripes of the sauce, cheese on top, and then the stripes for the plating. My sister got the pesto pizza and the also complained that there was a lack of sauce. Overall, I think this restaurant is okay. I'm not really sure I would be back as there are other pizza places in the area where I've had better pizza.

I mean, where else can you get Tri-Colored Pizza which was pesto, vodka sauce, and marinara with mozzarella all on the same slice? Plus, the crispy chicken on top? Chef's kiss. The crust was crispy AF, just the way my boyfriend and I like it. We really liked this pizza. Now, the riceballs... my boyfriend (a Jersey native, so he knows his stuff) thought they were just okay. Would we order them again? Probably not. But honestly, we're coming back for that pizza. Their pizza flavors and that perfect crispiness of the crust have us hooked. We definitely want to come back to try their appetizers and salads as well.
